Ingredient questions

Brown sugar (packed) FAQ.

How many grams are in a cup of brown sugar (packed)?

This page uses 213g per US cup as the PantryGauge reference. The named ingredient and measurement basis matter, so do not reuse the figure for a different product state.

How should brown sugar (packed) be measured?

Press it firmly into the cup until it holds its shape, then level the top. When a recipe gives grams, weighing remains the more repeatable option.

Can I use this brown sugar (packed) conversion for another type?

Use caution. Light and dark brown sugar are close in this chart entry, but loose or unpacked brown sugar is not the same measure. Check the recipe's exact ingredient and, when available, its product-specific weight reference.
